About Paddy Twomey

Paddy Twomey is a racehorse trainer based in Golden, County Tipperary.

It seemed only fitting that Paddy was destined for success, having bred the future Group 1 winner Tagula at just 13 years old.

A graduate of the pinhooking business, Paddy initially trained under a restricted license, but success came quickly, and it wasn’t long before Paddy started making an impression on Irish Racing.

Since taking out a full training license in 2016, Paddy has established himself as one of the top trainers in Ireland, finishing in the first five of the trainers championship for the past two seasons despite having a much smaller string of horses than his closest competitors.

Between 2019-2024 Paddy Twomey provided around 1% of the runners in Irish Flat races, while winning 8% of the country’s Black Type races in the same period.

  • Twomey is the most upwardly-mobile handler in Ireland. This is a man who has been operating at a 23 per cent strike-rate or higher since 2018. That takes serious doing in an environment as competitive as Ireland.

    Irish Independent

  • Paddy Twomey’s rise has been stealthy and sure-footed, success layered upon success, which begets success, and momentum builds. Every step that he has taken since he took out his licence to train in 2012 has been a forward step
